Prologue - Unexpected Notifications!

It was Dec 31st, 2021, and a few minutes before midnight, I was awoken by the loud celebratory noises from my neighbourhood as it was New Year's Eve.

Everybody was in a great mood to welcome the new year 2022, as the Covid pandemic settled down by the World Health Organization that made the Covid vaccine available to every common person in the last 2 months.

So, even though it was a bit disturbing, I didn't bother them by asking to keep the noise down.

I plugged in a pair of noise-cancelling earphones and tried to go back to sleep.

Just when I was about to drift into sleep, I heard some noise, but it was neither the sound of music nor the sounds of people partying in the neighbourhood.

It was a rather strange voice since I couldn't tell if it was a male voice or that of a female.

So, I opened my sleepy eyes and found a series of light blue rectangular boxes that contained information that had appeared floating half a meter before my eyes, startling me.

Those reminded me of notifications that could be seen on a phone or PC. But they looked more futuristic like a holograph, which was a 2D version of the hologram.

These notifications were extremely peculiar, and even though they filled a part of my vision, I could see everything clearly as if the notifications were transparent.

In general, upon observing a notification on either a phone, a PC or any other device, we have to read the content to understand it.

But that was where the peculiar aspect of the strange notifications comes into place.

The instant I looked at them, I understood all the content in notifications within a fragment of a second as if all the information within those notifications was transmitted to my mind.

[System is assimilating Earth with the rest of the Vast Universe.]

[For efficient assimilation, a Trial Program is required so that System could record data from 1111 individuals with the Highest Potential Innate Abilities from the assimilating Planet.]

[This Trial Program was further divided into 3 Sub Programs, namely, ALPHA Program, BETA Program, and GAMMA Program.]

[These 1111 Individuals were further separated into 3 Programs according to their Innate Abilities.]

[The entire duration of the Trial Program is estimated to be 18 months, and the number of members assigned for each program was different]

[ALPHA Program - 11 members - Beginning 3 months of 18 months.]

[BETA Program - 111 members - Middle 6 months of 18 months.]

[GAMMA Program - 1111 members - Final 9 months of 18 months.]

[Congratulations! You are one of the 11 Chosen individuals among 7.8 billion for the ALPHA Program.]

[As a Chosen member among 11 individuals of Alpha Program, you will be one of the first to begin the Trial Program.]

[Once the three months of the ALPHA Program completes, BETA Program will begin. The 11 ALPHA members will continue with 100 other members chosen for BETA Program, bringing the individual count to join Beta Program to 111..]

[After the six months of Beta Program gets completed, the 11 ALPHA members, along with 100 BETA members, will continue with another 1000 members chosen for Gamma Program, which brings the final individual Chosen count to 1111.]

[When the GAMMA Program ends, it marks the end of the Trial Program and the assimilation with Earth begins.]

[Survive, overcome danger, and grow stronger. All the Best.]

[You will get teleported to the Trial zone in 3 minutes, prepare yourself.]

[Time Left: 180 Seconds]

Once I understood all the information in the strange notifications, I recovered from my daze.

I tried to move away from those notifications but to no avail since they followed me as if they were attached to me.

I tried to touch the notification that began a 60-second countdown, but my hand passed through it, almost like the notification was non-existent.

But when I concentrated on them, I was able to mentally move them to a side of my vision.

My face was filled with disbelief from the unbelievable interaction with notifications.

Even though I didn't believe all the unusual information, the existence of the abnormal notifications caused me to reason with myself to prepare for the scenario where I might really get teleported.
